I've had mine up to between 105 and 110 on my speedo(dont know what actual speed was cause it was never recalibrated from the stock 225/75/R16), dont think it would have gone much higher than that.....i had 31" mud terrains and no mods with 3.55 gears

Its been a few years but some where around 135+. It was a bit beyond the markings. I wouldnt try it now, too much traffic, cops, cell phones and cameras on the highways.

My 1/4 mile best trap is 104mph. Best et 12.91/101.7. It will be running a fair bit faster next year.

Is this Ranger under 3000lbs in weight?
13.6 should trap around 98-105mph
123mph traps should et around 11.5-11.9

This thread needs to be renamed "Just how accurate is your speedometer?"

I don't know how you guys got your trucks that fast but they are either seriously modded, or your going down a mile long straightaway, or you bsing. Mine starts swaying around 85 or so but still not too bad it takes forever to acclerate when around 85 also. The 33" MT's and 3" don't help but still I am not at all impressed with this truck in terms of how fast it is.

When I floored it on what I thought was a pretty long straight away and kept it floored it didn't get anywhere near the speeds you guys are posting and got to where it felt like it didn't have any power left.

Well thanks alot, since this post started I figured hey what the heck I will seee just what it will do. First top speed is roughly 115, had a pace car to verify my speedo. Could be better, pretty windy day.
Now here is my complaint, I stomped it from a dead stop, 0-60 right at 5 to 6 seconds, but now my dang service engine light is on. So ok who do I blame?
JK, does this everytime I take off to quick, it will go away in a couple days. Thinking loose wire, or just fed to much gasses by the O2 sensor to fast.

your dodge is limited by the timing. you cant retime it without going to a dodge dealer to get the timing either slightly advanced or retarded.

mine is advanced 1 degree to get rid of my top speed limiter on my dakota. i had nearly the same problems as you only i was doing 105. now i can peg the speedo and im sure im doing well over 130.

i raced a camaro (pile of ****) with a 350 and toasted the crap out of it.
